I bought the car from a buddy of mine. He bought the Nutek shortblock 4-5 years ago - only has ~ 2k miles on it as of now. Yes, they went out of business.

When I got the car, it had Pro Performance (some of the long time members will remember those pieces of work) heads on it. I pulled those POS heads off and put some LE2 heads with an LE4 cam, ported intake, etc. on the car. I've done quite a bit of work/tuning on it in the past year to get it where it is today.

We have found that IF ya HIT the tires like ya should that ya need 18-20psi to keep the tread on the ground and leave a full footprint. This is with 15" rims,dont know about the odd ball sizes.
